Pete Mahon could soon become an ex at Hunky Dorys Park since he does not seem to have the solution for the terrible performances his team has been showing at the back over the last couple of weeks.

The latest of the humiliating defeats came last Friday when Drogheda allowed as many as four goals in a loss to fellow strugglers Galway United on the road.

The story is completely opposite with the Pats who have somehow managed to find the momentum top escape the very bottom of the Premier Division standings in spite of a very tough schedule in last three weeks.

The Pats clinched back-to-back wins over the top-half Derry City and Bray Wanderers netting as many as five goals along the way.

Drogheda United vs St Patrick’s Athletic: Head to head

The Pats have been a very tricky rival for Drogheda United over the history as they have won 33 of 61 meetings with the Drogs.

Moreover, the Pats have suffered only a single defeat in last 14 H2H encounters with Drogheda and they have won six of last eight clashes with the Drogs.

Everything points out to the continuation of a fine run for the Pats who are well worth backing to clinch the victory at 4/7 odds.

Braver tipsters can chase handicap bets since we would not be surprised to see the visitors netting three or more goals this Friday at Hunky Dorys Park.
